Augmented reality (AR) allows users to experience their physical, real-world environment so that its elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory inputs such as sound, video, graphics, or GPS data. As information becomes more and more pervasive, overlaying information on reality becomes the norm for enhanced decision making. The future promises radical improvements in AR technology with the introduction of gestural interfaces and sensory feedback that fuses the physical world with digital information.
